Change nameservers to set up Office 365 with ZGSJ

In this article

Follow the instructions below if you want Office 365 operated by 21Vianet to manage your Office 365 DNS records for you. (If you prefer, you can manage all your DNS records at zgsj.)

Add a TXT record to verify that you own the domain

Before you use your domain with Office 365, we have to make sure that you own it. Your ability to log in to your account at your domain registrar and create the DNS record proves to Office 365 that you own the domain.

Note

This record is used only to verify that you own your domain; it doesn't affect anything else. You can delete it later, if you like.

On the Manage domains page, in the Action column for the domain you are verifying, choose Start setup.

On the Add this TXT record to show you owndomain_name page, choose Okay, I've added the record and then, in the confirmation dialog box, choose Finish.

Change your domain's nameserver records

To complete setting up your domain with Office 365, you change your domain's NS records at your domain registrar to point to the Office 365 operated by 21Vianet primary and secondary name servers. This sets up Office 365 to update the domain's DNS records for you. We'll add all records so that email, Lync, and your public website work with your domain, and you'll be all set.

Caution

When you change your domain's NS records to point to the Office 365 name servers, all the services that are currently associated with your domain are affected. For example, all email sent to your domain (like rob@ your_domain.com) will start coming to Office 365 after you make this change.
